Letter from the President

As the boys youth soccer environment in the United States continues to change at an ever-increasing pace, we are excited to begin the 3rd season of the Boys Elite Clubs National League. It has been no small feat to create a new competition and development platform in an already dynamic and chaotic landscape, but with the great conviction and support of our member clubs, the Boys ECNL has grown significantly, strengthened incredibly, and is poised to help lead American youth soccer into the future, Raising the Game for boys players, teams, and clubs.

Our mission is to provide our players, coaches, and member clubs with the highest quality of competition, education and development available in the youth game, as well as unparalleled opportunities and experiences. With your support, and with your unique perspective and voice informing every decision we make, the Boys ECNL will continue to improve the quality of the game, and the quality of the player experience, every day. We have only begun to scratch the surface of the impact that we can have together on the sport.

The quality of competition in the Boys ECNL has perhaps been most evident in the performance of our clubs in the first two years of the ENPL, where each year the league has captured 4 of 5 ENPL National Champions. We look forward to seeing our clubs continue to set the standard in this regard. The 2019-2020 Boys ECNL season will include 90 clubs in the league at every age group, with great new clubs in the Pacific Northwest and many other new cities and regions across the country. The Boys ECNL is truly a national league, a national platform, and a national structure to provide opportunity for the American player – no matter what city they live in.

As a member club, you are the core of the Boys ECNL. Thank you for your commitment to the league, to continuing to push limits and raise standards in our league, and to making this league everything you want it to be.

We wish you a fantastic 2019-2020 season.

Christian LaversBoys ECNL President

National Training Camp - Nassau, BahamasThe camp was held over a four-day period, welcoming the league’s top performers to the Bahamas for a program focused on pushing the players physically and mentally, all while in a tropical paradise. Except for airfare, all expenses for the camp were covered by the Boys ECNL, inclusive of first-class accommodations at Breezes Resort, PUMA training apparel and equipment, and top notch training facilities.

The camp experience serves as both a challenge and reward for the league’s standout players, most of whom were Conference Players of the Year or All-Conference Selections for the 2018-2019 season.
